1 " Professors go batty too, perhaps more often than other people, although owing to their profession, their madness is less often remarked. "
― Michael Gruber , The Book of Air and Shadows
2 " But these people _announced_ their madness . . . they flaunted their insanity, they weren't half mad and half not, curled around a door frame. They were properly mad in the Shakespearean sense, talking sense when you least expected it. "
― Zadie Smith
3 " I have tried to protect myself against men, to react against their madness to discern its source; I have listened and I have seen--and I have been afraid of acting for the same motives or for any motive whatever, of believing in the same ghosts or in any other ghost, of letting myself be engulfed by the same intoxications or by some other... afraid, in short, of raving in common and of expiring in a horde of ecstasies. "
― Emil M. Cioran
